For arguments sake, has anybody done a descent job of poly with w/ a brush,
or foam without bubbles. Simple ya, na is sufficient. If speciically so,
was it thinner, and how much?


Yes, oil based poly, thinned quite a bit (maybe 20%) and a
foam brush. Finished with 0000 steel wool and a little wax.
Actually, it was Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane.

No bubble problems visible to the naked eye.
